In this course you will learn how to design the type of training that takes advantage of the plastic nature of the athlete’s body so you mold the right phenotype for a sport. We explore ways the muscular system can be designed to generate higher force and power and the type of training needed to mold the athlete's physical capacity so it meets the energy and biochemical demands of the sport.
We also examine the cost of plasticity when it is carried beyond the ability of the body to adjust itself to meet the imposed training stresses. The cost of overextending plasticity comes in the form injuries and chronic fatigue. In essence, a coach can push the athlete’s body too far and it can fail. Upon completion of this course you will be able to assemble a scientifically sound annual training plan.

Acute fatigue during training and competition

Fatigue is a phenomenon we all experience. It is characterized by tiredness and the desire to rest. Whether the athlete likes it or not, fatigue serves a protective function. It is both cognitive and physical in nature. In this topic you are introduced to the science of acute fatigue due to training and competition. With rest, acute fatigue dissipates and the body becomes stronger. You will learn about important fatigue theories, and the factors believed to contribute to fatigue such as low fuel supplies, acidity and body temperature.

Okay, so now we give the psychologist their shot at giving us a model. This is the psychobiological model, and actually it's also called the psychological motivational model. And it's based on Brehm's or Jack Brehm's motivational intensity theory. And it includes two components to it. There's potential motivation and there is motivational intensity. The potential motivation refers to the maximum effort the athlete is willing to exert to succeed at an exercise task. And as you know, some athletes differ from others in this. The motivational intensity is the amount of effort the athlete actually expends. Now the theory states that an athlete will continue to exert effort as long as the level of motivation to exert maximal effort is not reached or they view the task as being possible. If the maximum effort the athlete is willing to exert is reached, or the task is perceived as being impossible, the athlete will disengage and not produce a good effort. The point of exhaustion is the psychological point at which the athlete completely disengages from performing the task. Now the psychobiological model predicts that an improved exercise tolerance can occur when the athlete is taught how to expend a higher level of fatigue without feeling tired. Or when the athlete believes in their preparation, their skill and their physiological capacity. They must believe in it. Teaching the athlete how to expend a higher effort and strengthening their belief in their training preparations can delay the onset of perceived fatigue. And the athlete will remain committed to producing the required work output. And I'm sure as you have been working with athletes you will see this in different athletes. Some are better than others at producing a good motivation. In essence, the psycho biological model suggest that performance is ultimately regulated by the perception of effort, and how much effort the athlete is willing to expend before giving up. And it is not at all due to physiological failures at all, because this model suggests that there's plenty of physiological capacity left when the athlete feels fatigue. In essence, fatigue from the psychologist's point of view is a psychological problem, and it's something that coaches really like to believe as well.
